Analysis of viscous-elastic model in vibratory processing.

The paper presents a model of the technological process in the vibro-energy machines. The abrasive medium has viscous-elastic properties. As a result of container's vibration the medium with finishing elements translate with oscillation and it results in machining the elements that are in the container. The forces between the medium and the elements are result of friction. The mathematical model is defined and the properties of the system are determined through a numerical simulation. Trajectory of the elements, their velocities and the forces between them are determined as a function of the container's vibrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
